In Rainbows (gets by on a technicality, since it was released on CD on the first of January)

And that's basically it so far, but a few of my favorite bands are going to release albums this year (hopefully I can get one out too... fingers crossed), so I have high hopes for 2008.

Deluge, have you heard A Silver Mt. Zion's new one? I have it but haven't had a chance to listen to it so far. It's supposed to be pretty good.

Nah, I haven't gotten a chance to check it out, but since I dig G!YBE I'll give it a spin sooner or later this year.

I'm really looking forward to the new Conifer record:

Their split with Ocean (another hometown band who have a record coming out this year) definitely made my top 10 list last year, and I have high hopes for this one...
